Julie Bindel vs. transgender people

Julie Bindel is a British author, sex-segregationist, and anti-transgender activist. Bindel is a key historic media figure in British anti-trans activism. Bindel has written hundreds of anti-trans articles for UnHerd, The Guardian, The Critic, Daily Mail. and on a personal Substack.

Background

Julie Bindel was born on July 20, 1962 in Darlington, County Durham, England. At age 17, Bindel moved to Leeds and joined anti-pornography activist organization Leeds Revolutionary Feminist Group. At the time, “Yorkshire Ripper” Peter Sutcliffe was committing serial murders in the area. Bindel described being followed one night in 1980 by someone who appeared similar to Sutcliffe.

In the late 1980s. Bindel became involved in anti-violence campaigns. In 1991, Bindel co-founded Justice for Women, which provided legal support to women who were convicted after resisting violence from men.

From the mid-1990s onward, Bindel worked as a journalist, becoming a regular columnist for The Guardian in the late 1990s. Bindel continued to write for the publication for more than two decades. During the 2000s, Bondel reported on issues including domestic violence, prostitution, trafficking, and the treatment of women in conflict zones.

Bindel has published several books, including Straight Expectations (2014), The Pimping of Prostitution (2017), and Feminism for Women (2021).

Anti-trans activism

Bindel was deeply influenced by anti-trans extremist Janice Raymond and others who frame trans women as a threat to cisgender women.

A 2004 Guardian column by Bindel titled “Gender Benders, beware” led to over 200 letters of complaint. The public pushback was a turning point in Bindel’s anti-trans activism. Bindel apologized for the tone, then began expressing anti-trans views more frequently and stridently over the ensuing decades.

When Stonewall nominated Bindel for Journalist of the Year in 2008, protesters picketed the event.

In 2020, Bindel sued British LGBTQ publication PinkNews for libel over an article on abuse within the anti-trans feminist movement. The article did not mention Bindel by name. The case was settled, and both parties released a joint statement.

During 2025 Pride Month, Bindel claimed it was now a “pride of perverts,” writing:

Women like me are sick of being lumped in with trans-identified people, with kinksters, with those that just call themselves ‘asexual’, ‘non-binary’, ‘sapiosexual’ or ‘aromantic’ – people who are never going to face oppression or discrimination for their sexuality. The Pride movement is redundant.
